It aﬀects oral health by inﬂuencing the growth of bacteria and plaque, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Menopause can alter salivary pH by reducing estrogen levels, which may lead to dry mouth, inﬂammation, and increased risk of infections. Therefore, it is important for women in menopause to monitor their salivary pH and maintain good oral hygiene habits. However, there is contradictory evidence about the level of salivary pH and oral symptoms. The present study was carried out to assess the oral ﬁndings and salivary pH in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Methods: The study was carried out on 60 patients who reported to the Department of oral medicine and radiology and were divided into two groups consisting of 30 patients each. Group 1: premenopausal women with no known systemic illness and deleterious habits. Group 2: postmenopausal women. Results: Salivary pH is higher in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women. Both pre and postmenopausal women have oral symptoms such as dry mouth, facial pain, and ulcerative lesions, but they are more frequent in postmenopausal women. Conclusions: Menopause aﬀects the oral health and salivary pH of women. Postmenopausal women are more prone to oral diseases and have lower salivary pH than premenopausal women. Salivary pH may be used as a biomarker for oral health status in postmenopausal women.","PeriodicalId":245370,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orofacial Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122421040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have also been reported to reduce microleakage, which can lead to restoration failure and tooth loss. A comparative evaluation of microleakage among newer composites FILTEK Z350 XT, TETRIC N-CREAM, and CLEARFIL AP-X was carried out to assess their efficacy in reducing marginal microleakage. Methods: The study’s samples consisted of 45 upper maxillary premolar teeth. These teeth, whose sizes varied, were removed for orthodontic reasons. Class II were prepared in teeth under aseptic conditions. The specimens were divided into three experimental groups of fifteen teeth each (n = 15) and the prepared cavities were restored with nanocomposite FILTEK Z350XT (Group-I), TETRIC N-CERAM (Group-II), and micro hybrid CLEARFIL AP-X (Group III). All the teeth were immersed in methylene blue stain to explore the microleakage. Specimens were sectioned buccolingually through the restoration using diamond disc. The restorations were assessed for presence of microleakage and examined under stereo-microscope of 40X magnification to assess the microleakage. One-way ANOVA and Unpaired student t-test analysis was carried out. Results: The mean scores of microleakage showed higher values at the gingival region for Group I and Group II, while Group III exhibited higher mean scores at the occlusal region. Further, the least microleakage was observed in TETRIC N-CERAM followed by FILTEK Z350XT followed by CLEARFIL AP-X. Conclusion: None of the composites tested completely prevented microleakage, but there were significant differences among them. TETRIC N-CERAM was the most effective material in reducing microleakage compared to FILTEK Z350XT and CLEARFIL AP-X.","PeriodicalId":245370,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orofacial Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122223839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This leads to the occurrence of various wasting diseases of teeth like attrition, abrasion, and erosion.\u0000Aim and Objectives: This study evaluates the prevalence of Dental Erosion (DE) and its severity among swimmers of chlorinated pool water in a metropolitan city in India.\u0000Material and Methods: In this study, 508 young and adult regular swimmers (including competitive swimmers) from various swimming pools were selected and examined clinically for the presence of DE. A structured questionnaire form was formulated to record the history of habitual swimming activity, diet, gastroesophageal reﬂux disease, history of intake of medications and acidic beverages, etc. for each swimmer. The data obtained were analysed and statistically evaluated.\u0000Result: Among 508 swimmer participants, 429 were males and 79 were females. Out of these 338 (66.54%), including 293 (57.67%) male and 45 (8.8%) female swimmers showed DE. The mean age of the swimmer was 33.64 years. The majority of swimmers showed Grade I (n=260, 76.92%) type severity followed by Grade II (n=73, 21.59%) and Grade III (n=5, 1.47%). 79 (15.55%) swimmers showed teeth sensitivity. The statistical test showed a positive correlation between the duration of swimming activity and the non-use of dental protective measures with the severity of DE (P<0.05).\u0000Conclusion: Swimmer’s erosion is mainly attributed to the acidic pH of pool water associated with chlorine amount and its severity depends upon the duration and period of swimming irrespective of the swimmer’s gender.","PeriodicalId":245370,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orofacial Research","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131418469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measurements were taken using brass wire, divider, stainless steel scale and digital vernier calliper.

In most cases, no specific cause can be identified but certain do tend to occur due to lesions or damage to the trigeminal nerve due to vascular compression, tumors, etc. which can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Hence, this pilot study was conducted to identify any underlying causes for trigeminal neuralgia using magnetic resonance imaging.\u0000Methods\u0000 A prospective cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 10 patients who were presented to department with clinical symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with trigeminal protocol was conducted. The evaluation of the entire course of the trigeminal nerve was then performed by an experienced radiologist.\u0000Results\u0000Out of the 10 patients, 6 were females and 4 males. Four patients did not show presence of any pathology i.e. were idiopathic. Five cases reported with neurovascular compression and one showed the presence of a tumor at the cerebellopontine angle compressing the nerve.\u0000Conclusion\u0000In this study, with use of magnetic resonance imaging, a 60% occurrence of an underlying pathology was demonstrated which could be treated to relieve the neuralgia. Hence, taking into account the high prevalence of etiological factors which could contribute towards trigeminal neuralgia detected on MRI, large scale studies can be considered for the same.
